About project
Invasive plant species (IPS) pose a significant ecological and economic challenge in the cross-border region, particularly in protected natural habitats. Their rapid spread threatens native biodiversity, disrupts ecosystems, and increases management costs for conservation authorities. This project directly addresses these challenges by introducing an AI-supported drone-driven enhanced spectrum sensing system for IPS detection and a drone-based spraying solution for targeted chemical treatment. By integrating remote sensing and automated treatment technologies, the project aims to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability of IPS management in protected areas in the cross-border region.
Project’s main objective is to develop and implement an advanced, technology-driven approach to IPS detection and treatment utilizing drone surveillance techniques alongside AI assisted analysis and prediction solutions in hyperspectral domain.
